Mauthaus, Posthaus, Postwirtshaus
In 1736 a toll house was built when the road to Brno was expanded, and a post office in 1784. The post house is a two-story building with a mansard roof and was redesigned in 1908 by the brothers Anton and Josef Drexler . The former post office is a two-storey cubic building with a cornice structure and a gable roof.
